I've got a table in which some records are associated with a number (numeric field): 691, 692, 693 etc. My parameter query asks for the number I'm looking for (parameter) and should return all records associated with that number or with that number minus one.
Something like this:
enter parameter
find records
in which number = parameter
OR
in which number = (parameter - 1)
I am trying to copy the parameter value that is entered to a variable so that it can be used to run other queries without typing it in over and over. Once my form is finished it will run 4 queries, and the current setup is that I would have to retype the parameter each time.
I have an append query that currently looks like this URL...This query automatically adds the machine parameters for a product code and lot number into the running condition log. This is so the user does not have to manually go in and tediously select each machine parameter.
The running condition log also has a date field to specify what day and record number the machine parameter's value was recorded on. When I run the query the appended rows look like this. The product and lot are defined by user parameter and there are actually about 36 machine parameters
Code: Productstockcode LotNo Day Record Parameter ActualCond PE-500 130816m71 StockTemp PE-500 130816m71 Zone 1 PE-500 130816m71 Zone 2
My question is: how do I modify the query to automatically add the date and record number in one shot? It needs to be user defined at the time of the query because this data is not stored anywhere else in the database. For each 36 machine parameters the day and record would be the same.
I have a parameter form I used to enter data for a query. I want it to clear any previous data entered when it opens. I have tried the below without success. I also have the fields defaults set as "" and the form set at yes on data entry.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Me.BldgCmb.Value = "" Me.StateCmb.Value = "" Me.CityCmb.Value = "" Me.AddCmb.Value = "" End Sub
I have a report that is fed by a parameter query. When a command button (Command23) is clicked a parameter box opens and the user enters a subsystem number. A report for that subsystem then opens.
I want to open the report with VBA and show a message if the user has failed to enter a subsystem number in the parameter box and just clicked OK.
The problem is I don't know how to refer to the parameter box and detect if it has been left empty before clicking OK. I first tried to use IsNull in an If statement with Command23.Value, but now realize it is the value in the parameter box I am after, not the "value" of Command23.
How can I change my code to detect if the parameter box has not been filled out?
Private Sub Command23_Click() If IsNull(Command23.Value) Then MsgBox "You did not enter a Subsystem", vbOKOnly, "No Criteria Entered" Else DoCmd.OpenReport "rptTESTInfoBySubsystem", acViewReport End If End Sub
I realise this issue is a common one and it is usually down to simple typos (I've looked at several similar posts) but none of the advice I've seen has solved my problem. I've designed the following Union Query:
SELECT [Email],[Title],[First_Name],[Last_Name],[Company],[Phone],[Country],[TEST_AND_MEASUR],[REC_AND_PROD],[LOG_AND_TRANSC] FROM [Region 1]
UNION ALL SELECT [Email],[Title],[First_Name],[Last_Name],[Company],[Phone],[Country],[TEST_AND_MEASUR],[REC_AND_PROD],[LOG_AND_TRANSC] FROM [Region 2]
UNION ALL SELECT [Email],[Title],[First_Name],[Last_Name],[Company],[Phone],[Country],[TEST_AND_MEASUR],[REC_AND_PROD],[LOG_AND_TRANSC] FROM [Region 3];
It should be very simple and I've checked it over and over, but when I run the query an Enter Parameter dialog appears prompting me to enter Email.
If I just click OK I get all the records but with the email field blank.
Similarly if I type x@y.com it returns all records but with the email fields all containing x@y.com
Advice would be very much appreciated!! Thank you in advance.
I have two date fields. I want to subtract them to determine the number of days elapsed. The dates are in the following format: Dateserial (Year, Month, Day). When I subtract them I get 7670 as the result when the number should be 365 if they are a year apart. How can I subtract the dates in a query?
I wish to create a query that produces a return of the previous month and year. i.e.
25/03/2015 (though a query formula) becomes Feb-15 01/01/2000 would return DEC-99 etc
This way I can then link all of my February data (formatted "mmm-yy" to my [datefield1]
I have tried subtracting day and formatting to months and subtracting then the value of a month but it all becomes too complicated because of the different days in the months and Jan to Dec and year as well.
Code: Item Revision Start End 332 B 9/2/11 9/15/11 332 C 9/21/11 9/22/11 332 E 11/2/12 11/29/12 2A9 A 1/13/13 1/14/13 2A9 C 1/16/13 1/18/13
I'm trying to make a select query to provide the following output (RevisionStart-PreviousRevisionEnd):
Code: Item Revision Span 332 C 6 332 E 407 2A9 C 2
I've struck out with union queries and aggregating/sorting letters and don't know where else to look. Is there a specific name for this type of operation anyway?
I want substract from 9/20/2014 totreg40 - reg = ovt but when reg=0 the remainder subtract from 9/19/2014 (previous record) totreg40 - reg = ovt, etc. The sum of reg = 40.
I have a database to keep track of time spent on development work. The database uses mainly two tables: Estimates and Status.
The Estimates table holds a static number for each item to be worked on. We generally subtract this number from the total number of hours in Status spent on each of the items. In queries, to calculate the overall delta, we subtract the Estimate from the overall Status for each item.
However, we would like to create a report that gives us a running total for each item. So, if we have 100 hrs in the Estimate table for Item A and 5 hrs for item B, then the report would ideally show something like this (delta between Status table and static value in Estimate table):
Code:
Item | Resource Name | Estimate | Actual | Delta -------------------------------------------------------- A John Doe 100 10 -90 A Jane Doe 90 5 -85 A John Appleseed 85 5 -80 B John Doe 5 10 5 B Jane Doe -5 5 10
This is so that we can see how our actual hours spent working on a task line up to our estimates. So, if we are under estimating our work, we can easily see this.
In Excel, this is of course no issue, but it becomes an issue when trying to write a query in Access to report this information.
As I said, we can do the overall numbers, just not the line item numbers.
I have a form where we fill in information for supply of PPE to employees.
Each item must be signed for on a printed report.
I am encountering problems trying to create enough rows for my report detail for each signature of the number of items supplied.
For example, on the form I will select the "equipment" - 4 hats supplied and 3 boots. On the report I want the equipment set as the group and the detail to be a number or rows which equals the number of selected items. therefore under the Hats group heading I want 4 blank rows which are made up of 3 text boxes - Print Name, Signature & Date and another group heading for boots but with 3 lines.
The Query gives the results below: (Item name is linked to a PPE table containing Item ID, Item Name, Cost etc..)
IssueIDDateProvidedItem_Name AmountIssued 0001 01/11/2013 Gloves (Orange) 10 0001 01/11/2013 Hard Hats (Black) 2 0002 02/11/2013 Hi Viz (Large) 5
The report I aim to generate from this should look as attached ...
The query/report is set up as a parameter report so I will enter the issueID such as 0001 and only those items will appear on the report to print and sign.
Is it possible to have the user enter the number of top records to choose in a query?
I know that you can enter a number or percentage in the Top Values property of the query but I would like the user to be able to enter this number each time they run the query since it may be different each time and not always, say, the top 10 records.
I am looking for a way to either display through a query with an expression or any other alternative that someone may have to display the last 100 records entered maybe based on date entered or something.
At the moment i have a query and report going form start date to end date but would also like a query/report that will just show me the last 100 records entered.
I have a crosstab queries which uses the date query parameters. However, when I go to my Export command (code is below), it ask me to enter the date parameters (start date and end date) twice. What do I have to do so that the system will ask me to enter once only?
Code: On Error GoTo Err_cmdTest_Click 'Must 1st set a Reference to the Microsoft Office XX.X Object Library Dim dlgOpen As FileDialog Dim strExportPath As String Const conOBJECT_TO_EXPORT As String = "qryEXPORT"
I have 5 queries that I am running. The first query has the date range parameters set in the field area that I need to run and each additional create table query is based off the results of the previous query.
1. Which is better to use to run all of the queries in one simple step? A macro or a form? I am exporting the final table to excel so that I can make some additional adjustments off of it.
2. How would I setup the date range parameters for the first query if I were to use a macro without going into the query itself and updating the date field? I tried setting up a macro to run the queries by using the OpenQuery action for each of the 5 queries, but I cannot figure out how to do the date range.
Is it possible to run a basic select query to pull records based on multiple strings entered by a user?
I have a query with field criteria - Like '*' & [Type In MMDBID:-] & '*'
This allows the user to input one MMDBID and the records are retrieved from the db.
I can also use the OR statement in the same field criteria "AB123" OR "BC123", and all records based on those values are pulled back.
But I cannot get the user to input multiple values and I tried amending the SQL string based on the OR criteria above
SQL statement (Like) is below :
SELECT tblFund.MMDBID, tblFund.[Investment Name], tblCodesLive.[IOE Code], tblCodesLive.[Uptix Code], tblFund.[Red Payment Deadline] FROM (tblFund INNER JOIN tblCodesLive ON tblFund.MMDBID = tblCodesLive.MMDBID) INNER JOIN tblContact ON (tblFund.MMDBID = tblContact.MMDBID) AND (tblCodesLive.MMDBID = tblContact.MMDBID) WHERE (((tblFund.MMDBID) Like '*' & [Type In MMDBID:-] & '*') AND ((tblFund.Editing)=False) AND ((tblFund.Closed_Fund)=False));
I'm trying to perform a DELETE query at run-time. The criteria for deleting records is somewhat complex due to various one-to-many dependancies between the tables, overlapping of date fields etc., so in order to restrict the DELETE to only those records which qualify, I've set up a load of smaller queries to produce the list of eligible records.There is only one parameter required - a 'CutOff' date which is arbitrarily chosen by the user and is available in a textbox control on an open form when the code is triggered.
Here is the main DELETE query :
Code: DELETE DISTINCTROW [tblComments].* FROM [tblComments] INNER JOIN [qryCommentsToPurge] ON [tblComments].[CommentID] = [qryCommentsToPurge].[CommentID] WHERE [tblComments].[CommentID] = [qryCommentsToPurge].[CommentID]
I've put qryCommentsToPurge and all the cascading sub-queries below - have highlighted in red where the parameter value is required (it is used in the queries to identify the records which must be retained, i.e. not deleted)Each of the individual sub-queries works fine and correctly (they return the correct population of records that they were designed to)If I run the sub-queries manually, I am prompted to provide the CutOff date, as you would expect - and the recordset returned in each case is correct for that date.
If, however, I run the DELETE at run-time (with the form containing that textbox open and containing a valid date value) I get a 3061 error :Suggesting that the queries can't pull the parameter value from the textbox on the form. But I've stuck a watch in the debugger on [Forms]![frmArchive]![txtCutOffDate] and I'm getting the correct date value? The form is open and available at the time.So why can't the query see it? I use these kinds of control references elsewhere in other queries and they work fine. I don't understand why it's a problem here?
Code: SELECT [tblComments].* FROM [tblComments] INNER JOIN [qryIssuesToPurge] ON [tblComments].[IssueID] = [qryIssuesToPurge].[IssueID] ORDER BY [tblComments].[CommentID];
I am fairly new to access but so far I have been able to get what i need from it, until now. I am trying to find a way of comparing two sets of data to find out an employee's average productivty.
Table 1 -Hours Worked (by day) - contains 'name' 'date' and '# of hours' worked - an employee would enter the hours here on a daily basis
Table 2 - Contracts Keyed (by month) - contains the number of contracts worked that is derived from seperate system - this is entered on a monthly basis (so for example: John keyed 30 contracts for the month of January) - the system i am pulling this info from does not have the ability to pull a daily count of contract per employee, only a range of dates and it then provides the sum for that range (unless I ran a query for each day, for each employee which would take me hours) - employees dont have access to this system to enter their own # of contracts keyed on a daily basis. - for entry, so far i have just been putting the first of the month and then the # of contracts.
In a nutshell, this is the calculation I am trying to create:
(Sum of "# of hours" for the month) / (total "# of contracts keyed" for the month) = employees average hourly productivity.
I have tried to do this with various types of queries and reports but with no luck, I get a prompt saying that access can't compare the 2 fields.
Is there a way to compare the data that is entered daily with the data i would enter monthly?
I have been asked to set up a parameterized query using 4 fields (ID Number, Surname, Christian Name and Treating Dr/s). When I search Microsoft On-line under parameterized queries it gives a tutorial which basically set out a simple query with "prompt" parameters in the Criteria field. When I search under the Access Help it gives me a totally different explanation - ie. setting up a cross-tab query first and then defining parameters. Is this a loose use of terminology or is there indeed a difference. Help please!
